This clinical trial will test two new therapies for the treatment of alcoholic hepatitis. Patients who "respond" to the current standard of care therapy for alcoholic hepatitis(corticosteroid/prednisolone therapy) after 1 week of treatment will be randomly assigned to either continue on standard therapy, or, to begin treatment with rilonacept in combination with standard therapy. Patients who are "non-responders" to the current standard of care therapy after 1 week of treatment will be randomly assigned to standard of care or to begin treatment with mycophenolate mofetil in combination with standard therapy. Patients will be treated for a total of 4 weeks in this clinical trial. Patients will be followed for up to five months after completing therapy (6 months total).
